I've always had a strong connectio...Dear Avery,<br />I've always had a strong connection to your Nana. You see, we've shared lots of things through life in regards to our families. My son James and your Uncle Bryant were born around the same exact time. Your mommy and my daughter, Tiffany were also born close together. Your Nana and I were both special ed teachers at the same school for many years. I even had students in my class who had SMA and they LOVED coming to school which I know you will as well! A few more things we share is that we both became first time grandmas and my grandbaby is also a beautiful little girl like you. Last, but not least, you've always been special in my heart because you and I share a birthday! I know it's a little bit early, but, I want to invite you to join my granddaughter, Keira and I for a trip to Build a Bear. Keira thinks every little girl needs their favorite "snuggy" to take everywhere, even to bed every night! Who knows, maybe you could choose your favorite "snuggy" from the Build a Bear store and then they can go with you on your wonderful adventures as you fulfill your Bucket List! Keira thinks we should go get frozen yogurt too. Please tell your Nana to let me know when you're going to be coming to New Braunfels for a visit and hopefully we can arrange to meet at La Cantera. My son and his wife live in Katy near you so tell mommy & daddy I can also come there and take you to the Build a Bear store closer to you. I'm famous for "spreading my birthday out" over long periods of time so don't worry about waiting till November! When you're ready, Keira and I are too! Even though you don't know me yet, you need to know that I love you and your precious family. I'm praying for all of you and asking everyone I know to do the same! Hope to hear about our "Build a Bear Birthday Date" soon!<br />Much love...Debbie (or Didi as Keira calls me)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188356437468688857.post-19554961715782636592012-04-18T20:32:33.853-07:002012-04-18T20:32:33.853-07:00Hi Avery,

They are strong and have huge hearts. Your friend Estella's video was so touching and beautiful, thank you for sharing it! Praying for you and your Mommy and Daddy too! Your Dad is a swell guy writing for you and the video of you and your Mommy dancing made me cry like the dickens! Looking forward to hearing about your adventures and Im rooting for the Ryan Gosling kiss! Maybethe Ellen show can invite you to come and then he could be there as a surprise guest, it would be so romantic....ahh a girl can dream right!

Chuck E Cheese's as well as Legoland (in California if you are heading that way I know a few places on the bucket list involved CA) have rides that will print you out a "license". I know at Legoland it's for a ride. <br />At chuck E Cheese you sit in a car to "drive". While you are riding it takes your picture and prints you out a "drivers license". <br />Your blog is an inspiration and heart breaker as well as a great informative site. <br />I actually knew of this disorder only because my friend's son passed away from it a few years ago. <br />May you enjoy all of your days with your beautiful girl, and learn as much from her as you can :)Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00925509096532468800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188356437468688857.post-14925564453547776672012-04-18T12:37:52.108-07:002012-04-18T12:37:52.108-07:00I will be praying for your family! please know god...I will be praying for your family! please know god is good and he has the final answer.

Thank you so much for sharing your story, ...Avery, <br />Thank you so much for sharing your story, and for sharing Estella's story as well. I promise to share your blog with as many people as I can in order to raise awareness for SMA. I also wanted to thank your Mommy and Daddy for being such wonderful parents to you and making us all realize what is really important in life. See dear Avery sometimes in this world we get caught up in the life and material objects and we lose sight of what really matters in life. When reading your blog it makes me want to go and hug my family and make sure they know every single day how much I love them. We all take things for granted, and we take life in general for granted. You, your Mommy, and Daddy are making us all and stop and think about what is truly important in life and for that I thank you. You are a very lucky little girl to have such wonderful parents who will ensure every day is lived to the fullest and is full of love, hugs, and smiles!Ashley Lunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443999417810828294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188356437468688857.post-63099735720859775702012-04-18T10:07:47.176-07:002012-04-18T10:07:47.176-07:00xoxoxoxo from Tilghman Island, MDxoxoxoxo from Tilghman Island, MDBeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010797719849608580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188356437468688857.post-88443350526066099112012-04-18T09:51:30.288-07:002012-04-18T09:51:30.288-07:00I post about you and your blog almost daily on Fac...I post about you and your blog almost daily on Facebook. I laugh and cry my way through your blogs. You are a beautiful little girl with some amazingly strong and inspirational parents. My daughter is just a month older than you, Avery, and I think of you every time I look at her; I cry in joy and in sorrow. I wanted you to know that I was training for a 5k, but am going to train harder to run a 10k and will be running for you, for SMA, and for all the babies affected by this unfair condition. You are an amazing little girl and I look forward to "watching" you check more and more items off your bucket list. If you want to take a ride to the top of the highest mountain in the Northeastern US, I'm your girl! Hang in there, little lady.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17610682723304739393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188356437468688857.post-86964704018897210792012-04-18T09:49:08.653-07:002012-04-18T09:49:08.653-07:00Thank you for sharing Estella's story, Sweet A...Thank you for sharing Estella's story, Sweet Avery, you are touching lots of hearts. How amazing it will be to see what comes about in battling that nasty SMA, because your Mommy and Daddy are allowing you to share your story with the world. I'm thinking of some things you should add to your Bucket List, that you can do when you come to Fort Worth & visit Nana Sandi's sister Carolyn. Do you have a cowgirl hat yet? You'll need one to watch the Herd. Also, there is a cool old steam train called the Tarantula (I know, right? Who names a train after a yucky, creepy spider?) But it is a real steam engine with vintage cars and you can ride it from Grapevine TX to the Stockyards and see all the cool stuff there. Then go back to Grapevine and check out Legoland. On Sunday come to Great Aunt Carolyn's church, the choir is praying for you all & would love to meet you! Then you can have our Pastor Dennis help you climb the Big Treehouse and slide down the great giant slide (I promise, he loves an excuse to slide) Mommy and Daddy can play too. We all hope to meet you soon, Avery. Have lots of fun & smiles with your bucket list and keep spreading the word about SMA. You are doing a wonderful job!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986894769585729718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188356437468688857.post-73885088524743604632012-04-18T09:28:33.062-07:002012-04-18T09:28:33.062-07:00You are an amazing family and I wish you all the l...You are an amazing family and I wish you all the luck in the world with you beautiful girl.
